GY-31 TCS3200 Color Sensor Module

The GY-31 TCS3200 Color Sensor Module uses the TCS3200 IC, which is a programmable color light to frequency converter. It features configurable silicon photodiodes and a current to frequency converter integrated into a single CMOS IC. The output from the sensor is a square wave with a 50% duty cycle, where the frequency is directly proportional to the light intensity (irradiance).

Programmable color light to frequency converter

• Exceed Voltage Limits: Do not supply the sensor with a voltage outside of the 2.7V to 5.5V range to avoid damaging the sensor.,
• Expose To Extreme Conditions: Avoid exposing the sensor to temperatures outside its specified range of -45°C to 85°C.,
• Ignore Power Down Feature: Utilize the power down feature to save power when the sensor is not in active use.

• Interface With Microcontrollers: Can be directly interfaced with Microcontrollers, Arduino Boards, Raspberry Pi, etc.,
• Use Within Specified Voltage: Ensure the operating voltage is maintained between 2.7V and 5.5V.,
• Consider Operating Temperature: Operate the sensor within the temperature range of -45°C to 85°C.

• Typical Operating: 25mA

• Non-Linearity Error: 0.2% at 50KHz typically

• Minimum: -45°C,
• Maximum: 85°C

• Minimum: 2.7V,
• Maximum: 5.5V

• Description: The sensor module can be connected directly to a variety of microcontrollers and development boards. It typically interfaces through digital input pins where the frequency of the output square wave can be measured.
